BRAlD-BOARD.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 332,038, dated December8, 1885.

Application filed April 22, 1885. Serial No. 163.078. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, CHARLES E. BARNES, of Paterson, in the county ofPassaic and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and ImprovedBraid-Board, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

My invention relates to the boards or cards on which braids,bindingtape, and similar goods are wound; and the invention consists ofa braid board or card made in two parts, connected at the ends so thattheboard or card and the braid wound thereon may be opened out andplaced upon a reel for convenience in unwinding the braid from theboard.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure l is a perspective view of a braidboard made in accordance withmy invention. Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same as it appears whenbraid is wound thereon. Fig. 8 is a front elevation of the board andbraid as they appear when placed upon a reel for unwinding the braid,and Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation of the same on the line a: w of Fig.3.

A represents my new braid board or card on which braid, tape, binding,or similar material may be wound in the ordinary way, the same beingwound first endwise of the board, as at b, then edgewise, as at c. Theboard A is by preference made of card-board and made double, of the twoparts a a, which are connected at the ends, preferably by the connectmayturn freely upon the bolt or pin, thus permitting the braid to beconveniently drawn off from the card. When the board and braid are to beused, the portion 0 of the braid that is wound upon the board edgewisewill first be unwound, then the board will be openedthat is, the parts aa will be spread apart, and then the board and portion 12 of braid willhe slipped upon or over the ends of the reel 0, which will revolve andpermit the remainder of the braid to be unwound without twisting thebraid.

Having thus described my invention,what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

As a new article of manufacture, the braidboard A, made of two flexibleparts, a, attached at the parts t, being adapted to be spread and placedon he reel ends, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
